Three legged workbench

Abstract

A collapsible workbench made up of three similar sections that are connected in assembly to from a three legged frame capable of supporting a flat panel or the like thereon.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A corner bracket for use in the construction of a three legged support frame for a workbench that includes a pair of perpendicularly aligned hollow arms said arms including a vertically disposed arm that is closed at the top and having a bottom opening for receiving a leg member therein so that the leg stands upright on a support surface and a horizontally disposed arm having a bottom wall and two side walls and an opening in the distal end thereof, for slidably receiving a beam member therein, said horizontal arm further including an angularly disposed notch having an open top, said notch being located behind the opening for slidably receiving said beam member in said horizontally disposed arm, said notch passing downwardly through the top of the bracket for allowing a second horizontally disposed beam member to be inserted downwardly into said opening, said notch being at an angle of 60 degrees with one side wall of the horizontal arm, the depth of said notch being equal to the depth of the horizontal arm, a reinforcing support means positioned immediately beneath the notch for providing load bearing support to a beam inserted in said notch whereby three of said corner brackets can be joined in assembly to form an adjustable triangular work bench frame by placing one end of a beam member in the horizontal arm of each bracket and the other end of each beam member in the notch of another bracket and a leg member in the vertical arm of each bracket. 
     
     
       2. The corner bracket of claim 1 wherein the corner bracket is molded of plastic. 
     
     
       3. The corner bracket of claim 1 wherein each arm contains an open sided channel for receiving a member therein. 
     
     
       4. The corner bracket of claim 1 wherein each arm further includes an elongated tubular section for receiving a rectangular shaped member therein. 
     
     
       5. The corner bracket of claim 1 wherein the support means further includes a reinforcing gusset connecting between the two perpendicular arms of the bracket. 
     
     
       6. The corner bracket of claim 1 further including means to secure the leg member and beam members in the bracket.
